Young hearts without fear

These little children skipped to school
Cos xmas time was near
The excitement was getting too much for them
True young hearts without any fear
Then along came Adam Lanza......
Guns at the ready , ready to kill
The adults did all they could
To stop this unholy thing.
Teachers tried to shield the pupils
To stop them being killed
Some died in the attempt
Their bodies bullet riddled
The why's and wherefores
For this act, might never be unfold
The gunman died, he was the one
Whose story could be told-
The numbers reach two score and seven
Totally not acceptable
That such a person has a licence
For it to be permissible
Gun laws wont help these tragic children
Angels in heaven they are now
Watching over their loved ones
Kissing their furrowed brow.

What a tragedy...one can only imagine the pain of parents unable to hold their little ones again. This is a great write. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this horrific incident. Very well done. God bless.
